@smashbaals How does “nature” teach you that long hair is a shame for men when if they didn’t cut it, it would grow just as long as women’s hair? Was Sampson a shame because he never cut his hair? Anyone who takes a Nazarite vow—or is a Nazarite fo...

@TimHami97610674 Paul was single and advocated for others to be single like himself (1 Cor 7:7). Paul was an overseer. How then does Paul meet his own requirements if it means must be married?

@pauldirks @PerinDana But my point is not that Sarah doesn't submit to Abraham, but that they have a mututally submissive relationship.

@pauldirks @PerinDana But my point is not that Sarah doesn't submit to Abraham,

@PerinDana @pauldirks Yes, those are good examples too. And yes, Sarah’s name means ‘princess’ or ‘noblewoman’ in Hebrew which denotes her status and her significant role in her relationship with Abraham, clearly denoted by times when he listened to...

@PerinDana @pauldirks I’m glad you asked again about this verse, Paul. Many are hung up on this phrase as we consider this a term of subjugation. In their cultural context, this was simply an idiomatic expression denoting respect. And so Sarah’s ac...

@marciapiper @megbasham It's hard to see what Paul was getting at in these verses on first reading. Have you ever changed your position on a passage, or are you correct in every aspect of your theology? Can the SBC not be challenged by scripture?? ...

@btgolz @megbasham You could say that to everyone who challenges your view of scripture. Why don’t you actually read and challenge my interpretation specifically? I’m claiming to be faithful to God’s word and to be holding to it. And for those who...

@LogunWynn @megbasham You are not correct that it was the unanimous view of the church. Also, whether or not a theology is correct is not a popularity contest. Would you have the same response to me if I was telling you that taking Africans as your...

@Jason93044787 @LogunWynn @megbasham I understand that perspective. There are those who try to say the Bible is ok with homosexuality, but think about this for a moment: that is in a clear list of sins and is described in the OT in a clear manner. ...

@William_E_Wolfe The law amendment is divisive. How is he shaming and slanderin

@PastorTSheppard @Jgrey2003 @pastordmack Where is the law in the Bible that women were to be “completely silent” in the congregation? It doesn’t say “women should not lead” but “women should remain silent” and the reason that speaking in the assembl...

RT @ryanschatz: @LogunWynn @megbasham Such an easy thing to say that one sentenc

@LogunWynn @megbasham Such an easy thing to say that one sentence. But it takes work to actually study the scripture to make sure you got it right. Is it good to condemn someone for something that is not a sin? Then you ought to be careful. How i...

@megbasham It is fine for those who believe the pastorate should be males to keep on doing what they are doing. But they shouldn’t be kicking out other churches that disagree with their views on this. Why not? Because it’s not a primary matter of ...

@dixontroy @megbasham Is that what Jesus wants for His church?

@megbasham @bartbarber Rather, @bartbarber ⎯ please justify why you are dividing Jesus’ body based on something that is not the basis of our faith and is not listed in a list of sins in scripture. You don’t have to agree with egalitarians. **But yo...

@megbasham The SBC adding secondary matters into its statement of faith (even though done years ago) is causing harm to the body of Christ. The church belongs to Jesus and Jesus cares about unity in His body. When we divide over matters that are no...

@AlphaMasculini1 @godlywomanhood Too bad @godlywomanhood blocked me for explaining the scriptures on this. :-( Deception occurs when you don’t have sufficient experience or knowledge. Yet they both knew the commandment. Eve recounts the words of ...

@Emma506131772 @SaulMelow @HamzahSsebunya @Mwembugaoficial @_Huza01 @faith_nabushawo @Abusengz In the church, we are called a kingdom of priests. This is for all believers. “And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to...

@TimHami97610674 @ronhenzel @triplett_mark Of course I could be wrong! But you’ll have to demonstrate it from the text and not by using later commentators as helpful as they can sometimes be. What do you mean by “a Judas apologist”? I have a teach...

@TimHami97610674 @BogdanOancea77 I didn’t see this somehow. Sorry for the delay! Yes I absolutely believe that God gifts irrespective of biological sex, ethnicity and social status in the body for the benefit of all! A gifted and qualified woman w...

@nsraban Actually, it seems 1 Cor 14:34-35 says all women are to keep silent because their speaking is shameful. Those who are married can ask their husbands at home. It totally goes against Paul’s instructions that all can prophesy and all can lea...

@uncledando @TomBuck "Another spirit is working in you"⎯people said this to Jesus too. You should really avoid going here just because we disagree on a secondary matter. Please define for me what "husband/wife distinction" means to you? Sarah resp...

@laurchas22 This is abuse. An elder should sit down with this man and tell him that how he is shaming the congregation is not good. What if a single mom who catches the bus is late because the bus was late? Surely there must be acceptable reasons ...

@Kdubtru You are just showing there’s a spectrum of male priority in leadership. If patriarchy seems too extreme you can be complementarian. If you don’t believe women speaking in church is shameful you can still believe that she is meant to not ju...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii Right, the order of creation is linked to deception. Adam wasn’t deceived because he experienced God in the act of creating (see my post on 1 Tim 2:11-15). There is no law in scripture that says that it is sh...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii - yes, women speaking is gender specific. But why only women? Why is their speech shameful, base, filthy? - the only ones who have to learn at home are wives. But Paul says: "For you can all prophesy one by...

@OccamsBraiser @iheartJ37 @MikeWingerii - Not shameful to interrupt (as that wouldn’t be gender specific). - What makes married women specifically out of order for speaking? - what about single women who cannot ask their husbands? What about younger...

@HammadAcc2 @AmyMek @jihadwatchRS Some of these are quite difficult passages. Here's an explanation for 1 Tim 2:11-15 that makes sense of this passage, the grammar, the nature of the letter and its context (stopping false teaching), the back referen...

@BogdanOancea77 Where does the text say that it is disgraceful for the men? It is the men who are calling it disgraceful and shameful. It is the men who Paul is refuting. The point is not "why do these men need to be taught by women?" but "why do ...

@BogdanOancea77 Yes. Yes I am. If you don't believe me, listen to what John MacArthur says about this term in his message titled "Does the Bible Permit a Woman to Preach?" starting at around 2m 46s. He explains it means "disgraceful or shameful......

@MikeWingerii @evanwickham However, your job—should you choose to accept it⎯is not to see whether all egalitarian guesses can be harmonized or not, but to find the truth. This means that many proposed views don’t hold up to scrutiny but doesn’t mean...

@chimpchompchamp @MikeWingerii @kitchenSvenk30 But these passages are highly debated for good reasons. There is no statement "an elder must not be a woman." The grammar and wording and back ref to Adam and Eve, etc. and context are not properly tak...

@chimpchompchamp @MikeWingerii @kitchenSvenk30 Complementarian leaders are doing what they believe is right, so I don't think they should be forced to allow women if they think it's not Biblical, but they shouldn't treat others as though they are in ...

@Mark_MCRider @TomBuck What? Women cannot speak in the assembly? What? Their voices are shameful, dirty and filthy? If you don't recognize that the things I commanded (everything else in the chapter) are God's command, then you should be ignored!...
